For some time now, every mac in our office has been consistently experiencing problems in Photoshop CS or CS2, where the application will just hang for a while (5-10seconds at a time). This is generally indicated by the "Beach ball of death" cursor (as we call it in the office). And doesn’t happen as a result of any specifc action. For instance, you could have just openned up a file and converted the background layer to a layer, OR you could be doing something truly complex and it will hang just the same, sometimes just after selecting another tool!
It’s really frustrating for all of my designers here and there doesn’t seem to be a cure. I can tell you that it didn’t do this in system 10.3. And only really began to be a problem since we upgraded. We are using multiple system install disks as well as multiple program disks, so it would be hard to narrow it down to a bad install. It is also behaving this way on several different machines, from G4’s, G5’s and iMacs. The only consistancy is the OS.
WIth this happening to the 10 of us here, I find it hard to believe that the problem is isolated to just us. However, I have yet to find ANY information regarding this issue.
Has anyone else experienced this, and would anyone anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
